@Reuben Krabbe Thank you for sharing the information. I did use a polarizer, and multiple flashes, mostly in umbrellas or against white walls. But the scrims are indeed a very good idea, especially the black ones. Definitely gonna get some! Thanks again for the hint!

Having done a bit of architectural work myself, I agree it is rarely “easy” but you did a magnificent job!

Thanks tob, I couldn’t go through how i made the pictures in detail, it would be worth many a blog post by itself.
The parts you don’t see of these shots;
Polarizer; glare is evil. kill it with a polarizer
Skrims; big (7 foot by 5 foot) white or black cloth panels are hidden and used in these shots to remove or add light very subtly.
multiple exposure; light balance in a room might look good to the human eye, but there is too much brightness for the camera to capture in one frame. to fix this i may take as many as 5 frames, and only 1 has a light on (example last shot the lamp beside the couch would have been brutally blown out)

This is a great set of pictures! The other day I had to shoot a small store, and I was facing huge problems to pull something off I liked.
Looking at the shadows of the first two pictures, it looks like you’re using available light only, which seems hard to believe, regarding the quality of the images.
Are you willing to share a bit more about how you got those images?
